As an article of manufacture, a continuous strip of fiat glazier points integrally connected together by a neck portion, the strip being rolled into a spiral coil with the points overlapping each other, into a convenient size for handling, and whereby the endmost glazier point may be unwound and driven into the sash of a window and then detached from the strip by bending the main 10 body part of the strip at right angles to the plane of the same.
